Antwort: Re: *SMs Thinking of OFFSITE Volumes ?
Hi David, Hi Fred, 1) David - We aren't using the DRM 2) Fred - Your approach would work, I'm sure. Because, when the OFFSITE Reclamation (or Move Data) ends after hundreds of mounts, then the now empty Volumes Status is EMPTY and afterwards they are used for new copies again. (And suddenly TSM doesn't think that this Volume is still OFFSITE how strange..he will use it again..) But our intention is to free up (reclaim) the Copy-Volumes, when they reach a Reclamation-Threshold of 60% . and so i don't understand the suggestion of Fred - because how can I tell TSM that he should create new copies instead of the old Ones, which are on the OFFSITE Volume xx ?? And: I don't want to Delete the Volume with Discard=yes (in this case, he would create a new copy - but what happens, when a Primary Tape is corrupted ? Data is lost) That's of course a new question . What happens, when TSM is making an OFFSITE Reclamation, using the primary tapes, and one of the primary Tapes is corrupt ? Will the Reclamation Process fail ? Will he then use the Copy-Volume with the Access=ReadWrite and will he change his own opinion, that this volume is OFFSITE ?? One more hint in this point of view: I tried the following: Setting the Access Status of the Primary Pool to UNAVAILABLE and Move-Data of a Volume, which has Status Read/Write and where TSM is thinking that it's OFFSITE. So I "forced" him to use a Volume from the Primary Pool, which is unavailableand It's unbelievable, but even though the Status is UNAVAILABE he is mounting and using a Tape of the unavailable Primary Pool... -- Gerhard -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] (Fred Johanson) am 08.01.2001 16:39:28 Bitte antworten an [EMAIL PROTECTED] An: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Kopie: (Blindkopie: Gerhard Wolkerstorfer/DEBIS/EDVG/AT) Thema:Re: *SMs Thinking of OFFSITE Volumes ? It works the same without DRM. Lower the Reclamation value on the offsite pool. As a fresh version of the copypool is being created, the old one is going to empty. When you're thru, send off the new version and bring back the empties. At 10:16 AM 1/8/2001 -0500, you wrote: Are you using DRM?

Therefor following steps are being done: 1) All pertaining OFFSITE Volumes come in from the offsite Location. 2) Following SQL Stmt will be performed for each Volume: (Setting the Access of the volume and the Location-Comment) UPD VOL xx Access=ReadWrite Location="" 3) Set the Reclamation Threshold from 100% to 60% to start the Reclamation. Now following Problem occurs: TSM still thinks, that the volume is OFFSITE (However) and is making an OFFSITE-Reclamation. And the big Problem is: The original (primary) Tapepool is collocated and the Copy-Pool isn't. This means, that for OFFSITE-Reclamation for one Copy-Volume in the worst case hundreds of mounts of the primary Volumes will be needed. The same happens, when I am making a "manual" Move-Data... (See below the example of a Move-Data) So why is TSM still thinking, that the Volume is OFFSITE although the Access-State is READ/WRITE ??

AW: AW: how to speed up NT restore?
Thank you for reply! We have the following situation: Server TSM 3.7 @ MVS with 8 3590 Tapes and 80 GB Primary Storagepool, ATM 60 Clients (all NT4) with TSM 3.x and some big NT Servers with 2 or 3 100 GB Volumes and a lot of files on them. All over dedicated Tokenring into ATM backbone A testrestore (compression off) of a single filespace(volume) uses only one tape (collocation on at filespace-level, reclaim 80%)and shows poor performance. Most of the time the 2 MB/sec limit of Tokenring isn't touched. Server CPU first 15 minutes very busy after that lazy. Restore speed over all under 1 MB/sec. Therefore we speak of a manageability of maximum 100 GB (~24 h restore time) per filespace. Now we intend to migrate to Netapp Toasters over Gigabit Ethernet. What restoretimes can we expect? What can we improve? With Regards Stefan Holzwarth -Ursprngliche Nachricht- Von: Shekhar Dhotre [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Gesendet am: Montag, 8.

The problem is that it until now only some MBs have been restored and the client will need many GBs before it is done ... Looks like this could take days. The activity log and 'q session' shows that the restore session is doing numerous ( DLT) tape mounts, and even when no mounts are outstanding very little data is transferred from the server to the client. Looks like the data for this client might be spread over hundreds of tapes. The storage pool for this client is not collocated. Is there a way to speed up the restore? Would it make sense to do an "export node" to tapes followed by an "import node" in order to force the data to fewer tapes or would I then just be spending time in the "export" instead? Is there something else I can do? -- any help would be appreciated!

Antwort: Re: *SMs Thinking of OFFSITE Volumes ?
For this one I have an answer because we have done it here. You asked: That's of course a new question . What happens, when TSM is making an OFFSITE Reclamation, using the primary tapes, and one of the primary Tapes is corrupt ? Will the Reclamation Process fail ? Will he then use the Copy-Volume with the Access=ReadWrite and will he change his own opinion, that this volume is OFFSITE ?? Yes, the reclamation will fail in this case. To fix you do the following. 1. Try MOVE DATA on the tape that reclamation failed on (The primary tape in the library). If that works then o.k. reclamation will work on next pass. 2. If it is really bad and move data doesn't work then you do RESTORE VOLUME vol_name PREVIEW=YES. (this will not actually do anything but tell you what copytapes are needed for the restore. Look at actlog when this process finishes and see the list of tapes needed for restore, most will be offsite.) (Also note one of these fine points: If you get the tapes back say tomorrow then it is possible that some of the tapes have been totally expired and will not actually be needed. You can do a PREVIEW again or just check them in anyway - won't hurt). 3. Request these tapes from offsite, check them into library (I just do search=bulk) and ideally (may not always need to do this) change status of each one from offsite to readonly) 4. RESTORE VOLUME vol_name. This will do actual restore. This recreates the data that was on original primary tape to another primary tape. Note that it will also mark original tape as desroyed. (You should check this original tape out of library before the restore starts as it will be easier, I think.) 5. Change status of these tapes back to offsite and check them out of library and send back offsite. David B. Longo Systems Administrator Health First, Inc.

Re: Commits to fragmented DB
Hi, We are on Version 3, Release 7, Level 20.0 of TSM on OS390 No you do not use idcams. TSM has its own unload/load process for achieve a database defragmentation This will also compress your database at the same time. My advice is that if you can, test this process on a development partition first. If you have the a development TSM and the spare dasd you can achieve this by restoring a dump of your production TSM, and then use that to test the unload/load process. This is what I did and has the advantages of giving you familiarity with the process and also how long it takes. Be aware this is a long running process, hence the test, but if you cannot test in advance, I suggest you allow for 1 to 2 days of TSM unavailability. You will find that you database will compress pretty well possibly by 50%, but you may be less impressed by any efficiency improvements. There will be some, but when I tested the improvements I saw were in the 10% area Because my test proved that TSM would be unavailable too long to accept, and because I was not confident that the improvement would be long lasting I did not implement in production However see below the checklist I drew up at the time which may be useful THIS A RUN THROUGH OF THE DBUNLOAD REQUIREMENTS FOR COMPRESSING THE DATABASE 1) PRE-ALLOCATE AND FORMAT NEW LOGICAL DATABASE VOLS THIS CAN BE DONE WELL IN ADVANCE OF THE OTHER STEPS (IF YOU HAVE THE SPARE DASD) I PREPARED THE SAME NUMBER OF NEW LOGICAL VOLUMES AS ALREADY EXISTED, BUT YOU COULD NORMALLY GET AWAY WITH LESS AS THE DATABASE AFTER THE UNLOAD/RELOAD WILL OCCUPY LESS SPACE THAN BEFORE. 2) STOP ANY PROCESSES AND DISABLE SESSIONS 3) WRITE TO A DATA SET FOR LATER COMPARISON SOME QUERIES FROM THE DB 4)TAKE COPIES OF DISKLOG, DEVICE CONFIG VOLHIST FILES (BELT BRACES) TAKE SOME QUERIES AGAINST DATABASE FOR COMPARE AFTER LOAD (SEE 12) 5) PERFORM FULL ONLINE BACKUP OF THE DATABASE 6) ISSUE HALT QUIESCE OF THE DATABASE. 7)AFTER DATABASE HALTED, PERFORM THE UNLOAD 8)IF YOU WANT TO USE THE SAME NAMES AS YOUR EXISTING DATABASE VOLS THEN RENAME THE OLD DATA SETS, AND RENAME THE ONES YOU HAVE PRE-FORMATTED TO YOUR OLD NAMES. THIS IS OPTIONAL. 9) RUN THE DBFORMAT JOB. THIS WILL FORMAT THE RECOVERY LOG BUT NOT THE DATABASE, BUT WILL UPDATE THE DISKLOG TO THE CLUSTER NAMES OF THE PRE- FORMATTED DATABASE VOLUMES. 10) LOAD THE DATABASE SPECIFYING THE TAPE THAT WAS USED IN THE UNLOAD JOB 11) START THE DATABASE 12) COMPARE OUTPUT OF QUERIES WITH THOSE TAKEN PRIOR TO THE HALT TSM (Q OCC Q VOL COULD BE USED, Q DB SHOULD HAVE BEEN TAKEN ANYWAY SO YOU CAN SEE HOW MUCH THE DATABASE HAS BEEN COMPRESSED) 13) IF SATISFIED WITH ALL THE ABOVE ENABLE SESSIONS.

HSM age factor
Hello all, We are attempting to understand the age factor parameter of HSM a little better. I know that the age factor is used to prioritize the files eligible for migration. Is there a way to make HSM look at the last access time of a file before it marks it as an eligible candidate to migrate? For example, we wish to keep files on the local filesystem for 90 days before having them migrate. Can this be done with just the age factor? My understanding of the age factor parameter says that this is not possible. Therefore I'm thinking I need to employ a script that will modify the EXCLUDE list until a file hasn't been used for 90 days. Then when I remove it from the exclude list, it should be migrated as an eligible file. Does anyone have any insight or opinions on this?

Then when I remove it from the exclude list, it should be migrated as an eligible file. Does anyone have any insight or opinions on this? Matt - It is the Access time that is used in the Age Factor. You can use the dsmmigfs command to set the Factor, which will guide migration choices. The specification is relative, not precise like saying "90 days", as the need for space governs migration and unless the file system is very capacious, we really don't have much choice about migration when a space crunch is at hand: space needs to be made, and migration must run. If you did have the space, you could simply run dsmmigrate via the Unix 'find' command, for example, to every day migrate files not accessed for N days. Richard Sims, BU
Re: Repeated mount of bad scratch tape
Not to beat a dead horse as I am just getting caught up on email. I have also experienced this problem and it was explained to me that the reason the tape is tried in several different drives is to verify that it isn't a drive problem but actually a tape problem. I agree it is a problem because a job will end if it failed too much.

Please see the following: ANR8355E I/O error reading label for volume NT0066 in drive RMT1 (/dev/rmt1). ANR8778W Scratch volume NT0066 changed to Private Status to prevent re-access.

I thought it's supposed to set the volume to private so that it doesn't attempt to mount the same scratch tape again. I think Richard already suggested upgrading software. What level are you running?

Merging Nodes on TSM
Title: ryan We have a situation where we are combining Netware servers, making 1 from 2. This leaves us with old nodes because we are not able to combine the nodes to make 1 from 2. We have tried the export/import function, but due to the size of our filespaces this takes in excess of 3 days, and we miss 3 days worth of data changes. We need to have a solution that allows us associate filespaces from one node to another. Has anyone heard of anything or had this same situation before? Thanks in advance for any assistance!

Custom dsm.opt in Client v4.1.2
Gentle Greetings, Has anyone yet succeeded in installing a predefined (custom) dsm.opt file with TSM client version 4.1.2? So far all of our attempts have failed... the installer seems to ignore anything I put in the ...\config folder. I have read and tried to follow the instructions in the README that came with 4.1.2, though I have some concern that the path referenced there does not reflect the path to the config folder after extracting the files from the 4.1.2 installer exe. It looks more like the path that was used in previous versions. So I wonder if this process works in this version. Thank you in advance for any help, suggestions, and/or shared experiences. Jennifer

Client v4.1.2 -- Uninstall on NT results in blank desktop?
Gentle Greetings, We've noticed a strange behavior when uninstalling TSM client v4.1.2 on an NT 4.0 Workstation system (SP5). When the Add/Remove Programs process finishes, the desktop goes to a blank grey screen with only the Start menu and Task Bar showing. Right-clicking in the grey area results in a Desktop message as follows: C:\WINNT\Profiles\All Users\Desktop is not accessible. Access is denied. Retry. Cancel. Retry results in the same message. Cancel returns to the blank grey screen. The only way we've found to get out of this is to restart the machine. (Fortunately, the Start menu still works fine, so it's not necessary to be brutal about the restart.) Has anyone else noticed this behavior? Thank you in advance for any help, information, and/or shared experiences. Jennifer

TDP for SQL and LAN less backups
Gang, I've a customer that thinks this is supported. The README for the current release suggests not. Does the current TDP for SQL support LAN less backups (as the Exchange agent) does or not?

IBM 3583 and Ultrium Drives, Windows 2000
This is a reprise of a thread started in December. Flame on: HAS ANYONE MADE THIS WORK WITH TSM 4.1??? Flame off. The documentation is not clear: Does ADSMSCSI support this baby or do we need to use the device drivers shipped with the library? The library documentation suggests that if you are going to use TSM you should not use the drivers shipped with the library. If, on the other hand, you simply start the TSM device driver, one can't see the drives. Could anyone that has made this work please document here what you did? Thanks, BTW, if we figure it out we'll post what we learned. Kelly J. Lipp Storage Solutions Specialists, Inc.

Fresh implementation of TSM
We are implementing TSM latest version on RS/6000 - S70A- AIX 4.33 with 3570C driver. I need some help in regards to Agents for different packages and things which we should consider prior to implementation. We have all kinds of databases such Oracle DB for Oracle Financial, Exchange, AS/400. Where do I get agents for these packages, and whether the installation of those agents is straightforward? And please let me know if other important points which might help me in the process. Thanks, Alyn __ Do You Yahoo!? Yahoo! Photos - Share your holiday photos online! http://photos.yahoo.com/
Re: decision support odbc driver for db2?
Gerald, actually, TDS doesn't include any ODBC drivers. The ODBC driver is provided by your DB manufacturer. So, you should use the ODBC driver that is provided by DB2, probably in some client package) Best regards, Wim.
